Hello,

Great Work. Just wanted to know if there is a way we can send touch events, similar to the way it can be sent from the physical remote?

Best Regards, Altamash Ahmad

@ALTAMASH93 Hi Altamash. It looks like the protocol used to communicate with the Apple TV with be changing. Apple is using a different protocol, and the current way we're talking to the Apple TV is broken in tvOS 15 beta. I'll try and find out if sending swipe gestures is possible when the code is updated. This is a use case I didn't really consider, so thanks for the idea!

Swipe gestures (or what we should call it) are supported by Companion, haven't looked into how it works though.
